How do I add a story to my Story Highlights?

To add story highlights, log into the Instagram app for Android or iPhone and then follow the instructions below.

You can add stories to appear on your profile as highlights, even after they disappear. Highlights appear below your profile photo.

To add a story to a highlight:

  1. Tap instagram-user-profile or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
  2. Tap . If you don't see , tap Story Highlights.
  3. Tap to select the story or stories you want to add to highlights, then tap Next.
  4. Choose a cover photo and enter a story name for your highlight, then tap Add (iPhone) or Done (Android). You can add more photos or videos to your highlight at any time by tapping and holding on the highlight and then tapping Edit Highlight.

Note: Stories you add as highlights remain visible as highlights until you remove them, even after the original story has disappeared. Keep in mind that those you've allowed to see your story can also see your highlights. Learn more about privacy settings for stories.
